Dear GRASS binary builders,
dear all,

the GRASS 5 beta 8 is tagged now:
"release_grass5beta8_26_july_2000"

Please check out the latest version using this tag:

cvs -z3 co -r "release_grass5beta8_26_july_2000" grass

From that please build your binary package.

What we need:

- Solaris_SUN : _______
- Solaris_Intel: _______
- Linux_Intel : Markus
- SGI/Irix : _______
- PPC : _______
- source code : Markus
- WIN/Cygnus : John

.. anything else? We have to keep in mind the limited space
on our mirrors.

Building the binaries *should* be possible using the target:
make bindist

THe tar file will be created within the grass5-bin directory
as expected by grass5_install.sh.

Thanks for your patience, many contributions could be integrated
the last 24hours!

I am grateful to all contributors! GRASS 5 is maturing very quickly
this year.

Kind regards

We will create .src.rpms and .rpms for the next version of the
FreeGIS-CD for GNU/Linux/i585 soon and for GNU/Linux/ppc when we
get a machine back from apple. (Apple is quite slow on its
repair. :frowning: )

Nobody for GNU/Linux/alpha or OSF1/alpha? :slight_smile:

Me.

I just wish there was a way on this end of my 56k modem to do a CVS
update to a tag revision and still be able to track the changes after
I have done a build. Possible?

If you want to track the HEAD (default) branch, do a:

setenv CVSROOT [whatever goes here]
cvs -z3 co [module]

When you want to update to the latest, change to the
top checked out directory and:

cvs -z3 update -dP

The -z3 flag tells cvs to use compression on the data stream.
-d means create new subdirectories, -P means removed otherwise
empty subdirectories. The update command itself only retrieves
files that have been changed since your last update.

You can try -z6 if your modem line is really slow.
Once you have a CVS checked out, it depends on how much changes.
For small changes you might be able to track and download it
using your modem line. :slight_smile:

I think Eric and Bernhard missed my point. I'm already maintaining a
current head, I was asking if there was a way to easily, with little
incremental bandwidth, maintain it temporarily as a copy of the tagged
head instead, for the purposes of building the binary distributions.

After building, I'd then want to revert my repository to the current
head version.

I think you're looking for:

cvs -z3 update -j [tag] .

This would merge changes from what you have to
the specified tag. Perform the binary build, then

cvs -z3 update -j HEAD

to restore to the head revision. You should check
the cvs docs, though instead of relying on what I
vaguely recall... The Per Cederquist manual is
quite good. I recommend reading the chapter on
branches and merging a couple dozen times.
